Silicon is a zkEVM Layer 2 network built on Ethereum, powered by [Polygon CDK](https://wiki.polygon.technology/docs/cdk/) — a zkEVM stack for building Ethereum layer 2 scaling solutions. Developers can easily deploy their existing contracts on zkEVM, and users can move their assets from Ethereum and conduct transactions off-chain. These transactions are bundled into groups with a zero-knowledge proof to verify their validity
